When Should I Bring My Pet to an Emergency Vet?
You should seek emergency care immediately if your pet:
- Is having trouble breathing or collapses
- Has been hit by a car or suffered trauma
- Is bleeding and it won’t stop
- Is vomiting or having diarrhoea repeatedly
- Has eaten something toxic (like chocolate, grapes, or medication)
- Shows signs of severe pain, weakness, or seizures
- You’re simply not sure - and worried
Don’t wait. We’d rather see your pet and find nothing wrong than risk waiting too long.

From the moment you walk through our doors:
